Signs of the Times

Here at RGU Art and Heritage we hold a variety of objects relating to staff, students and the teaching practice in the University.  In the past the University Library held a large collection of 35mm slides covering the subject areas of Art and Architecture. The slide collection was used as a teaching resource and as well as covering architects such as Mies van der Rohe, staff also collected urban imagery.
